The only crypto ill ever trust it just works. yes admin is an issue but don't blame the devs balm windblows for requiring admin privileges to mount a virtual drive. all apps that use low lever hard disk emulation etc require admin privileges.

The other problems sound more like windows issues than anything. Running on linux, works extremely well, absolutely no complaints here.

Great program, but on XP you have to keep it running, because if you close it, it wont let u start it again until you reboot. Also like wpuacnt said, you have to have administrator rights on the computer u use it on, so you wont be able to use it on your computer at Work even if you have this on a portable usb drive.
